Steps: Set Up Learner Experience

Steps: Set Up Learner Experience

  • Review Setup Considerations for Learner Experience.
  • Save Searches for any reports you would like to use for custom sliders.
You can use the Workday-delivered configuration or configure a customized learner experience so learners can access, complete, or view content using:
  • Custom links that learners can use to access tasks, custom reports, or external content.
  • Spotlight cards that highlight specific content for groups of learners.
  • Custom sliders that enable learners to access personalized learning content.
  1. Configure your own banner image and header text for the Learning Home page.
  2. Create spotlight cards that direct learners to specific content. Example: A custom report from which they can browse your learning catalog to find content that helps them develop new skills.
  3. Enable learners to create and share personalized learning paths.
  4. (Optional) Access the
    Create Learning Custom Slider
     task.
    Select the saved search that you want to use to display personalized content to learners on Workday Learning homepages.
    You can use these data sources when creating search reports for custom sliders:
    • Learning Assignment
    • Learning Content
    • Learning Enrollment
    • Learning Record
    Security:
    • Set Up: Learner Experience
       domain in the Learning Core functional area.
    • Set Up: Tenant Setup – Worklets
       domain in the System functional area.
  5. Use the
    Configure Announcements
     task to display up to 5 announcements on the
    Learning Home
     page.
  6. Access the
    Maintain Learner Experience
     task.
    Select
    Customized Configuration
     on the tab for the page that you want to configure.
    As you add rows, consider:
    Option Description
    Page Content
    Select a card that Workday displays to your learners. You can select the order in which your content items display.
    You can add up to 3 custom sliders to these pages:
    • Learning Home
    • My Learning
    • Discover
    To add a slider, select
    Custom Sliders
     and then select the slider you want to display on the page.
    Condition Rule
    Add condition rules to specify who can view external links. Example: Add a condition rule display an external link to managers.
    Orientation
    Select the desired variant for your sliders.
    After a learner starts consuming the content and its status moves to In Progress, the description on a card is automatically hidden and replaced with a progress indicator.
    Descriptions only display for assignments; they don’t display if a learner has enrolled in the content, even if the status of the enrollment is
    Not Started
    . This behavior applies to both delivered and custom sliders.
    If you have subscribed for Workday Learning, powered by Sana, you can optionally select a highlighted layout variant for applicable sliders and cards.
    Task/ Report or External Link
    Add a link that displays on the side panel on the
    Learning Home
     page.
    Required for Groups
    Select the groups that you want to display the custom slider to.
  7. Enable learners to set their language preferences for the content that appears in learning recommendations.
  8. (Optional) You can select
    Default Configuration
     to return to the Workday-delivered configuration.
    Security:
    Set Up: Learner Experience
     domain in the Learning Core functional area.
